Theme :Straw Craft

When the upper portion of the straw is left out a sleek or thin stick comes out which resembles like a hair pin. Then this stick is ripped using a blade and is pasted on a sheet of paper making it flat and straight. On a board a piece of cloth is pasted. Then the paper pasted with straw is cut using a pair of scissors into finest designs to create various paintings. Any sorts of colour and use of paint brushes is avoided. Colour or different shades or tones is achieved using straws of different age, Like the more old the straw is the more darker tone ( deep) is produced. It’s a never seen before work of art is really laborious and strenuous job.
